bertineA friend of mine gave me a box full of quilt tops that her grandma had done. They are all hand pieced and I am debating how I want to finish them. I could tie them, which would be quick and easy but I really don't like that look. I could machine quilt them but that sort of seems wrong, though would make them much more stable. Or I could hand quilt them.
I have never hand quilted anything. However, I like the look. If I did it lightly I bet it wouldn't take that long.
I guess another option is to machine quilt some of it and finish it off with hand stitching. That might be a good compromise.
BTW, I haven't quilting much at all in months. Morning sickness made me so tired I didn't want to do anything and once that was done I decided to spend my time working on the baby's room. I am hoping that this weekend I'll get the rest of the walls patched & primed so I can feel like I have made good progress. Next weekend my goal is to paint the room.
This is what the rooms looks like with the patching I had to do. I still have that hole to patch and a big chunk of plaster to completely replace. Nothing too hard.
